That was what I saw in my inbox when I checked my email today.  A mail from Anupam Agarwal after months.  Oh, Anu's my pen-pal from Bombay, whom I've known since like more than 10 yrs ago (but nvr got to meet)...We're still in touch till today...except no longer via snail mail, but via electronic mail.  He nvr fails to email me with his wishes for all ocassions...Holi, B'day, Diwali, Eid, X'mas, New Year...but I did realise he didn't email me his B'day wishes this year.  But since I'm not the kind who celebrates or rejoice over my B'day (I'm the keep a low-profile type...just stay home & enjoy the day), I'm ok abt ppl not wishing me.

So, back to the email, when I read the contents...my jaw dropped!  Firstly, I didn't know he & his wife Gauri was expecting a younger sibling for their son, Achintya (fondly known as Achu, who must be arnd 3 yrs old at least by now).   Secondly, there can't be a more shocking coincidence than Anu's son sharing the same b'day as his sweetheart Sharu!  Now he has NO reason to forget my b'day at all (not that he ever has!). Tch tch tch...bechara Anu.  Pleasantly surprised.
